What this is
Core project management for people who manage work without a formal PM title: scoping, breaking work down, scheduling, tracking progress, managing risk and running a clean project close-out. The course is organized into 6 modules — starting well, scope and planning, scheduling, running the work, risks and change and closing — with 18 lessons in total, so you build the skill in a sensible order and can return to any part when you need it.
It is not exam preparation for any project management certification and does not award one. It will not guarantee on-time delivery; it gives you a practical method for scope, schedule, risk and communication that you adapt to your own projects.
What you will be able to do
- Write a one-page project charter with scope, goals and owners
- Break work into a realistic plan and schedule
- Track progress and spot slippage early
- Manage risks, issues and change requests
- Close a project and capture lessons learned
